Re: [WISPA] Electric Hoist?
Myte capstand hoist rocks. about $1000 each, but pays for itself on the first job. http://www.myte.com/View-Products.aspx?id=3 ALWAYS make sure your lines are at 90° to the capstand. Use three to four loops around depending on your load. Never lift over people. Marco On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 7:42 PM, Brad Belton b...@belwave.com wrote: That's just it.

Re: [WISPA] Electric Hoist?
I made mine from a cable winch. Removed the cable, put some rosin on the hub, wrapped the rope around it 3 times and worked like a charm. Just had to have a person on the ground pull the slack off the hub so the rope wouldn't foul. 100 bucks from TSC. Specs say not to run it more than 5 minutes without cooling off but never had any trouble from it. I only needed it for one job and couldn't find one to rent.

Re: [WISPA] Electric Hoist?
We looked into this a couple years ago when we faced installing several 4' 6' antennas on top of four water towers. After a hard look at it and even giving a try at raising one 4' antenna ourselves (just to see if we could) we quickly decided it was far more economical to hire a tower crew. Those guys are pros and do this kind of thing every day. The planning, rigging and proper evaluation of what ifs is what takes the time. The actual raising of the antenna only takes a couple minutes. Once you factor in all the proper rigging required to safely raise antennas that size up a couple hundred feet without damaging the tower etc, I think you may come to the same conclusion. Three foot antennas are one thing, but once you get to four footers or larger it definitely gets more complicated.

Re: [WISPA] Electric Hoist?
I have one of these: http://portablewinch.com/ I use it for all kinds of things. It needs to pull straight on, not overhead, so your first pulley needs to be straight on from the unit. I have moved, pulled, recovered some remarkable things with that unit. I even have the skidding cone too to pull trees and deer up out of my timber. You will need 400' of 1/2' rope to work the 180' tower.
